1. Introduction
The Trust understands the importance of dress, whether in uniform or not. Adhering
to this policy will enhance public confidence and a positive perception of the Trust.
First impressions are important and they often determine the attitude which will be
conveyed to all those who have contact with the Trust whether as a patient, a visitor
or colleague.
The Trust is committed to ensuring the diverse needs of its staff are met, providing
this does not impact on the delivery of operational services, as well as ensuring that
we meet our obligations under equalities, health and safety legislation, as well as
promoting our own policies on equality and inclusion.
Any exceptions to this policy and accompanying procedures for example,
reasonable adjustments in regards to disability, religion, belief or maternity, must be
discussed with and approved by the line manager.
2. Scope
This policy applies to all members of London Ambulance Service NHS Trust and
defines acceptable dress code for both uniformed and non-uniformed staff but does
not define the dress code to be followed by staff when attending an LAS funeral (see
section 11.0, TP/ 020 ‘LAS Staff Funeral Procedure’).
3. Objectives
1. To detail the specific requirements for the wearing of uniform and work wear
whilst on duty, or when travelling to and from their place of duty or
representing the Trust in an official capacity, so as to robustly guard the
corporate and professional image of the Trust.
4. Responsibilities
4.1 The responsibility for ensuring that the policy is enforced lies with the Trust
Board and the Chief Executive Officer.
4.2 The Director of Operations is responsible for overseeing the policy on a dayto-day
basis.
4.3 The Trust will ensure appropriate resources, facilities, and associated
supplies for members of staff to effectively adhere to this policy are
available and maintained.
4.4 All Trust managers/ officers are responsible for ensuring that this policy is
being routinely applied by all members of staff and that suitable and
necessary facilities to support this policy are readily available in all Trust
sites.
Ref. OP/001 Title: Uniform & Work Wear Policy Page 4 of 18 Version 6.0

4.5 All members of staff are individually responsible for adhering to this policy.
In the case of disagreements between members of staff and their Manager/
Officer, this matter should be referred to the next Line Manager/ Officer.
4.6 The Trust is not responsible for personal items of property brought into the
work place such as make up, jewellery or watches.
5. Personal Appearance
5.1 Hands must be visibly clean at all times; finger nails must be kept clean and
cut to a length which will not damage medical examination gloves or risk
causing injury to a patient or damage to equipment (please see the HS/020
Hand Hygiene Policy).
5.2 Hair must be kept clean and tidy at all times. Hairstyles should be inkeeping
with the promotion of a professional image. Hair that falls below the
collar must be secured above the collar in a fashion that does, not impede
the effective use of Trust approved safety helmets. Whilst wearing dress
uniform, staff should ensure that any hair that falls below the collar should
be secured in a bun. Excessive, artificial or unnatural hair colourings (for
example green or blue) are not permitted.
5.3 If hair bands or decorations are worn by uniformed staff they must be of a
colour in keeping with the colour and style of the uniform worn.
5.4 Beards should be kept neat, clean and tidy at all times. Personnel who wish
to grow a beard or moustache should do so whilst on Annual Leave or
extended periods of Off Duty days. Partial beard growth (stubble) must be
kept neat and trimmed.
5.5 Make-up should be kept to a minimum and be in keeping with the
professional image of the Trust. Nail polish (clear or coloured) and/or false
nails are not permitted. Scents should be kept to a minimum.
5.6 Visible tattoos which include words or images that could cause offence
either to patients, work colleagues, or members of the public, must be
covered whilst at work. Staff should ensure long sleeve shirts are rolled up
for hand washing and patient care (please see the HS/020 Hand Hygiene
Policy).
6. Policy Statement
6.1 The Trust understands that the way its staff dress will send messages to the
patients they care for and to the public. Both infection control and public
confidence underpins the Trust‟s Uniform & Work Wear Policy ensuring that
a high standard of personal hygiene and appearance is maintained by all
staff
Ref. OP/001 Title: Uniform & Work Wear Policy Page 5 of 18 Version 6.0

7. Non-uniformed Staff
7.1 Work Wear
7.1.1 Smart casual dress is usually considered appropriate for an office setting
and should be clean, in a good state of repair, and in keeping with the
promotion of a professional image.
7.1.2 Outside of the office setting formal business wear may be more
appropriate. Staff should use their discretion in this, and where unsure
should seek guidance from their line manager.
7.1.3 Line managers are responsible for ensuring that the appearance of their
staff reflects the aims set out above.
8. Uniformed Staff

where those alterations relate to the size of a garment. High Visibility
garments and PPE are not to be altered in any way.
8.1.3 Staff must keep a clean uniform available on station, or carried in the bag
issued by the Trust so that they may change in the event of their uniform
becoming damaged or soiled during the course of their shift - see Wear &
Tear procedure (Appendix 2).
8.1.4 Head coverings worn due to religious belief must be provided by the
wearer and for uniformed staff should be in keeping with the colour of the

it is their responsibility to ensure all uniform items are returned to their line
manager irrespective of their condition, including all ID badges.

of staff is off duty or travelling to and from Trust premises, a jacket or
other item of clothing must cover Trust insignia / epaulettes if not in a
Trust vehicle.
8.1.7 Staff leaving Trust premises during rest break periods must also cover
insignia / epaulettes in accordance with point 7.1.6 above. Staff are not

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Intended All LAS Staff
Audience
Dissemination Available to all staff on the Pulse and to the public on the
LAS website.
Communications Revised Policy and Procedure to be announced in the RIB
and a link provided to the document.
Training Good practice dictates that all staff should receive
information, education and training in relation to the Uniform
Policy as part of the Trust‟s Corporate Induction Programme,
Ref. OP/001 Title: Uniform & Work Wear Policy Page 9 of 18 Version 6.0

Initial Training Course, and Key Skills Training.
Staff should receive information, education and training when
there is a change in the uniform supplied.
Monitoring Monitoring compliance on a day to day basis will be
undertaken by all managers by observing staff during duty
hours. Remedial action for non-compliance should be part of
a personal development plan.
The Infection Control Steering Group (ICSG) will periodically
monitor compliance through auditing of „the bare below the
elbows‟ infection prevention and control standards. The
reporting of non-compliance and deficiencies will be
undertaken through the responsible Line Managers and the
ICSG for remedial action.
This policy will be monitored and reviewed every three years
by the Chair of the Uniform Working Group (UWG) or sooner
if required with relevant stakeholders. .
The ICSG will review the Policy annually through the infection
control audit reports to ensure members of staff are
compliant. Non-compliance and deficiencies will be reported
to the Clinical Governance Committee through the ICSG.

Appendix 2
Procedures and Guidance for Uniform Wear and Tear, Contamination, Damage
and Disposal.
1.0 Record of Uniform Issue
1.1 All items of replacement uniform issued will be recorded by station or unit
administrators on a Uniform Issue Record Card (LA88). This card should be
completed when the initial issue of uniform is made and updated when any
replacement or specialised items are issued.
1.2 The LA88 must be kept up to date at all times to reflect an accurate record of
the uniform/outfit provision held by each member of staff.
1.3. The Line Manager should carry out sample audits to ensure records are being
kept up to date. These audits should be carried out every 6 months.
2.0 Allocation of Uniform
2.1 The current allocation for all LAS uniform wearing groups can be found in
Appendix 3 of this document or on The Pulse.
3.0 General Wear and Tear
3.1 A uniform wearer may request replacement of a garment / footwear which can
no longer be worn due to general wear and tear. The garment / footwear must
meet one of the following criteria:-
a) the item is unsafe to wear,
b) external garments do not provide adequate protection against
adverse weather,
c) by wearing the item, the wearer is unable to comply with the
standards detailed in the Trust‟s Uniform and Work Wear Policy
(OP/001),
d) the item is beyond economic repair,
e) the item is so soiled it cannot be laundered successfully.
3.2 The uniform wearer must present the item to their line manager. If the
manager is satisfied that a replacement is justified, a new item will be
ordered. The manager will retain the used garment and arrange disposal in
accordance with this procedure – see 6.0.
3.3 When the replacement item is received the member of staff should be asked
to sign the LA88 Personal Issue Record Card and confirm he/she has a full
set of uniform and PPE.
Ref. OP/001 Title: Uniform & Work Wear Policy Page 12 of 18 Version 6.0

4.0 Contaminated or Damaged Garments
4.1 The uniform wearer may request replacement of a garment / footwear which
can no longer be worn due to contamination or damage. The garment /
footwear must meet one of the following criteria:-
a) the item is unsafe to wear,
b) no realistic chance of the item being successfully laundered or
repaired,
c) the item has been left for disposal at a hospital following transport
of an infectious patient,
d) by wearing the item, the member of staff is unable to comply with
the standards detailed in the Trust‟s Uniform & Work Wear Policy
(OP/001).
4.2 The uniform wearer must, if possible, submit the item to their line manager.
This should be in a sealed clear plastic bag. If the manager is satisfied that a
replacement is justified, a new item may be ordered.
4.3 Where it is not possible to submit the item, for instance it has been disposed
of following transport of a highly infectious patient to hospital, the manager
attending to support staff should be asked to confirm in writing that this action
has been taken.
4.4 The manager will retain the garment / footwear and arrange disposal in
accordance with this procedure - see 6.0. If the item is contaminated it
should be placed in an orange clinical waste bag. This bag must be sealed
and disposed of in the clinical waste receptacle on the station.
4.5 When the replacement item is received the uniform wearer should be asked
to sign form LA88 and confirm he/she has a full set of uniform.
4.6 If garments / footwear have been left at a hospital following transport of an
infectious patient, the crew should make a note to that effect on the Patient
Report Form (PRF). The PRF should be presented to the line manager. The
manager will then order replacement items as outlined above.
4.7 When replacement items are received the uniform wearer involved should be
asked to sign form LA88 and confirm they have a full set of uniform.
5.0 Loss or Theft
5.1 If a uniform wearer suffers a loss or theft of any garment / footwear, it must be
reported at the earliest opportunity to their line manager. Depending on the
circumstances, the Police should be informed and a crime number obtained.
A Trust Report of Loss / Burglary/ Theft (LA154), must also be completed.
5.2 If the manager is satisfied that a genuine loss has occurred, and there is no
realistic chance of recovering the item, replacement garments / footwear may
be ordered.
Ref. OP/001 Title: Uniform & Work Wear Policy Page 13 of 18 Version 6.0

5.3 When replacement items are received the uniform wearer should be asked to
sign form LA88 and confirm they have a full set of uniform.
5.4 If items are recovered at a later date, the uniform wearer should advise his /
her line manager and a note should be made on the LA88, confirming this
matter.
5.5 If the line manager considers that a uniform wearer has been negligent in
losing an item of uniform, he may authorise a deduction from the persons
monthly salary payment. This may be up to 100% of the items value
depending on the circumstances.
5.5 If items of uniform are frequently lost by the same person, and no reasonable
explanation can be given for this, action under the Trust‟s Disciplinary
Procedure may also be considered.
6.0 Disposal of Garments / Footwear
6.1 All items of uniform requiring replacement should be given to the local line
manager. Items should be held by the manager in a safe place pending
disposal (except contaminated items which should be placed in the clinical
waste receptacle as described above – see 4.2).
6.2 All disposed items of uniform including contaminated items, shall be recorded
with the date the item was disposed in the date replaced column on the
